The 2021 Turkish Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Rolex Turkish Grand Prix 2021) was a Formula One motor race, held on 10 October 2021 at Istanbul Park in Tuzla, Istanbul. It was the sixteenth of twenty-two rounds of the 2021 Formula One World Championship. As of 2025, this was the last Turkish Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton, driving for the Mercedes team was fastest in the final segment of Saturday's qualifying session, however a ten-place grid penalty meant he started Sunday's race in eleventh place, promoting his team-mate Valtteri Bottas to pole position. Bottas won the race and scored the bonus point for the fastest lap, with Red Bull Racing drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez finishing second and third.
